    Are Americans in danger of losing online gambling?

    When the new FCC rules fall into place?

    The FCC will be able to block out whatever sites they want.

    From what I heard on the radio this is supposedly true.

    I need more clarification on this because this sounds like a direct violation of the 1st Amendment as well as the Freedom of Information Act.

    If they get away w/ something like this, then it's time ... it's definitely time

    We should not expect any respect for freedom of speech from a government that wants the founder of Wikileaks more than Osama Bin Laden

    This is obviously a socialist move for our far left government! Will this site be shut down to Americans and should we be withdrawing our balances sooner than later?

    America! Home of the Brave, Land of the incarcerated! Everyone's individual liberties are encroached upon in the name of protecting the masses. Internet gambling, bicycle helmets for kids, gun ownership, ** Donalds happy meals making kids fat. Whatever happened to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY?

    WTO trade agreements will not allow the US to block offshore gambling sites out even if they tried.

    This is a conservative agenda. Everyone knows the FCC is run by a bunch of good ole boys from Texas.

    I read this today and was under the impression the FCC was going to put it on the ISPs, and make them block whatever is considered an illegal site. Maybe I read it wrong.

    later

    Not inconceivable, as that's what they are doing in Australia.

    Will never happen; way too many will be against it. Plus pretty sure an appeal will get it right back to square one.

    I never said there was. Was responding to this;

    "the FCC was going to put it on the ISPs, and make them block whatever is considered an illegal site."

    Which is exactly what is happening in Australia.

    The majority of Canada has the same summer/winters as 80% of the United States. You're not one of those people that would go to Canada with a parka on in August are you?
